The Saudi Contractors Authority (SCA) has launched two new
initiatives, the “Ertiqa” Portal and the “Mimar” Portal, as part of its efforts
to enhance contractor readiness and accelerate digital transformation across
the sector. The two initiatives were launched on the sidelines of the Future
Projects Forum.
The Ertiqa Portal aims to assess contractors’ readiness and
enhance their operational and organizational capabilities by providing
practical recommendations that help them improve their performance and
strengthen their ability to participate in major development projects. The
Authority stated that the portal serves as an integrated tool for measuring
contractors’ compliance with quality and sustainability standards, while
contributing to the development of their technical and administrative
capabilities and expanding their opportunities to participate in major national
projects.
Ertiqa enables contractors to assess their overall readiness
based on clear technical, financial, and administrative criteria and provides
them with a structured roadmap to develop their capabilities and advance to
higher levels of efficiency. The portal also serves as a key tool for improving
contractors’ access to financing and project opportunities by providing
financiers and project owners with a reliable and structured assessment through
the Readiness Certificate.
The Mimar Portal, meanwhile, is a platform designed to unify
the construction journey by connecting individuals with accredited contractors
and project managers through integrated services that contribute to greater
sector efficiency and improved quality of project delivery.
Mimar provides a comprehensive range of services, including
project listings and bid submissions, legally binding contracts that protect
the rights of all parties, and a secure payment system designed to enhance the
reliability of transactions within the contracting sector.
Through the launch of Ertiqa and
Mimar, the Saudi Contractors Authority seeks to foster a fair and competitive
business environment, enable contractors and beneficiaries to identify areas
for improvement, and encourage the adoption of international best practices, in
line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to advance and strengthen the
Kingdom’s contracting and housing sectors.
